Chapter 523: The Mountain Ghost in the Underworld

Looking at the gradually fading aura of the Great Qinghuang Priest, Chu Tai's eyes were very calm.

He could understand the thoughts of the great witch priest and could probably guess his logic.

Even though there was nothing wrong with what the great witch priest did in his time, Chu Tai did not agree with it, nor would he feel too much for his behavior of choosing to return to nothingness at the last moment because the aura of the Holy King he followed dissipated.

Therefore, Chu Tai wouldn't mind interrupting his last peace.

"Rather than leaving quietly, could you tell me where the sacrifices in recent years came from?"

The Great Shaman Qinghuang glanced at Chu Tai, who had a green lotus blossoming on his fingertips and sealed a lotus seed, cutting off the possibility of his inner existence sensing the outside world, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You actually asked me directly? Well, I am too lazy to argue with you about whether it is true or not. I can only answer your question that I don't know."

Frowning slightly, Chu Tai could tell that this answer was not just a perfunctory one from the Great Qinghuang Priest, but that he really didn't know.

He asked, "You can't figure it out with your cultivation level? It seems that the other party's witch cultivation is higher than yours."

"You don't have to deliberately provoke me. I will tell you what I know."

"You don't know anything about the sacrifice?"

Most of the spiritual light of the Qinghuang Great Shaman Priest had dissipated, and his voice became a little weak.

"I can only see that the other party is not offering sacrifice to me alone, but to many beings similar to me at once. He is protected by something left by the Holy King, so I can't see clearly."

Chu Tai still didn't give up: "Not even a trace?"

"No, your methods are very sophisticated. Your witchcraft skills are not inferior to mine when I was alive. You are also protected by a high-ranking being. It is not something a cripple like me can figure out."

After the Great Qinghuang Priest finished speaking, he looked at Chu Tai with a hint of meaning.

"In fact, you know very well that this news itself is a kind of information. I don't believe that in this era, there are people with such witch cultivation without a name. If there are not many of them, you only need to see which one is protected by the treasure left by the Saint King, and you can roughly determine who it is."

After he finished speaking, the spiritual light of the Great Shaman Priest had dissipated by 90%. He glanced at Chu Tai, who had fallen silent, knowing that he had come up with an idea. He then looked at the underworld around him, as if he had thought of something.

"If you must pursue something, this fragment of the netherworld still contains a little bit of power left over from the original sacrifice. That power is different from that of us. After entering my body, it wanted to influence me, so I suppressed it under the netherworld... When you take it... remember to be careful..."

The sound became weaker and weaker, and finally a little bit of it was given to Chu Tai, and then no trace was left.

The spiritual light was wrapped in mist, and Chu Tai sensed the information inside slightly. He looked at the completely decayed skeleton beside him, buried it with the surrounding skeletons, and slowly walked towards the altar, intending to take over the fragments of the underworld here.

As Chu Tai walked step by step towards the depths of the altar, the scent of death could be smelled, and waves of sacrificial sounds echoed all around.

Chu Tai quickened his pace while muttering the ancient sacrificial ballad. This time, Chu Tai mobilized the power of the Dao Fruit Fragment [Spell]. Although this Dao Fruit Fragment was only of the sixth grade, it was very suitable for the current environment for those who possessed the ability to grant words similar to spirits.

Obviously, Chu Tai did not have a very in-depth study of witchcraft, but he was able to use some basic counter-witchcraft methods to suppress the other party's worship of the fragments of the underworld and interfere with the other party's influence on this place.

And when Chu Tai arrived at the center of the altar, strands of power similar to the fragments of Tao Fruit swirled and gathered at the core of the altar, settling little by little, and seemed to turn into a bird-headed mask.

However, the ancient witchcraft patterns that looked like flying birds all around emitted a faint glow, constantly interfering with the formation of the bird-head mask.

Chu Tai observed for a while and could see that the sacrificial songs around were trying to transform it into the Nuo mask form of the current era, while the witch text was trying to transform it into a special witch mask of the Saint King Jing era.

"It is indeed him. That's right. In this world, only he has the ability to hold a grand sacrifice without being discovered by these ancient witches..."

Chu Tai entered with some emotion. The remaining spiritual light in his hand flew up and fell into it. In an instant, the real sacrificial songs sounded all around.

As soon as Chu Tai heard it, he understood that this was a countermeasure left by the Great Qinghuang Witch Priest. He sacrificed the entire altar and the fragments of the underworld, and the object of the sacrifice was Chu Tai, who came here with the spiritual light in his hand.

Chu Tai was also stunned when he discovered this, but after the backup plan left by the Great Shaman Priest was activated, it was like the last protection given by Saint King Jing to the Great Shaman Priest Qinghuang. It was simply activated and could not be stopped unless it was directly destroyed or forcibly broken.

Chu Tai understood this and changed his original idea immediately.

Although he still maintained the Dharma intention of [One], he quickly integrated the Dao fruit fragments of the coroner system under the shadow of the Great Sima Ming into this split soul.

As the sacrifice was carried out, many powers were absorbed one by one by those Dao Fruit fragments.

[Coroner], [Paper-making Craftsman], [Ghost Walker], [Refiner] and [Ghosts and Gods from the Underworld] all exuded a faint dark aura, especially [Ghost Walker] and [Ghosts and Gods from the Underworld], which were significantly strengthened, as if they had gained a new foundation and undergone a certain qualitative transformation.

In comparison, the changes of [Impermanence of Life and Death] are very subtle. After being carried by this spirit, the fragments of the underworld and the laws and principles of foreign lands that fell into it during the sacrifice were absorbed, but none of them could shake the foundation of [Impermanence of Life and Death]. The light it emits is not as bright as that of [Coroner].

However, the fusion of the underworld fragments and the power of the ancestor Haha that was suppressed by the great witch priest on the altar still made Chu Tai's distraction have a certain connection with this land.

What made Chu Tai most helpless was that at the beginning, the only power left by the Qinghuang Great Witch Priest was the one who tried to do this.

But as time went by, Patriarch Haha seemed to realize that he could not take back this power, so he changed the method of sacrifice, trying to sacrifice Chu Tai's spirit as the Qinghuang Great Witch Sacrifice. Through this sacrifice, the concepts of the two would overlap to a certain extent, and thus achieve the goal of trapping more of Chu Tai's power in this piece of underworld fragments.

At the same time, it also lays the groundwork for regaining this power in the future.

Chu Tai, who saw this clearly, looked slightly cold, took a deep breath, and attracted the power of the Taoist fruit fragments of the farming system around the mountain ghost's phantom.

The integration of the three Dao fruit fragments of [Agriculture], [Fertile Soil] and [Blessings] directly gave Chu Tai a certain degree of control over this fragment of the netherworld, and he deduced further [Reality and Virtuality], as well as the variant [Sixth Grade Mountain Ghost] derived from it after it carried the partial virtual shadow of the mountain ghost.
